Bringing YOUR Dream To Life
ADVANCE CONFIDENTLY!
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” -Harriet Tubman
How is it that every great dream begins with a dreamer? The reason the process unfolds in this manner is simple. We all dream. However, we do not all dream equally. Some dream of what might be, while others dream and make plans for what will be.
What is the difference between might and will?
The difference between might and will, is the difference between believing and not believing. What makes dreamers so remarkably different, is their ability to entertain the possibility that they might just somehow find a way, to bring their dream into reality if, if they but remain open to the possibility of the dream…
When we are gently reminded by someone, by the words of a song or a story, the line of a poem, or the words of an actor or actress, the encouragement of a friend, the inspiring words of a leader, what we are reminded of in that moment, is not the power of what is expressed, but the recognition that what is expressed, is what is within.
We already have within us, everything we could ever possibly need, to do, be, or become, whatever we desire. It is only when we acknowledge what is in us, that we begin to nurture ourselves and give ourselves permission to grow, develop, and unfold, so that we might then become, all that we once dreamed possible…
When we acknowledge and accept our dreams as a preview of our own life’s coming attractions, it is in the moment of acknowledgement, the dream becomes a potential reality. We literally can begin to see ourselves as becoming the thing we only previously dreamed about.
What is it that makes something real anyway? Is it the something, or our belief about it that makes it real? Are our lives not full of limiting beliefs and false assumptions? Are new technologies and new information not changing the very landscape of everything we thought we once knew and understood? And where does all of this new information and these new ideas come from anyway?
The information and ideas come from those who would dare to dream with their eyes wide open and act upon their dreams with purpose and intention. From those who would dare to believe as Harriet Tubman did, that within us, lies all of the passion, all of the patience, and all of the strength and courage we will ever need to do the things we previously only ever dreamed of.
The dream can be as big or as small as we choose. Maybe your dream is to be the best teacher you can be, maybe it’s to be the best parent. Maybe it’s to the best representative in the company, maybe it’s to be a distinguished leader, maybe it’s as simple as becoming the very best YOU possible…
Whatever it is, acknowledge it… Whatever it is, embrace it. And whatever you do, do not go back to sleep!!
My call to action is a simple one. What is it you previously dreamed about as a possibility that you simply let go back to sleep, within you? Whatever it is, it’s still there. Let it awaken slowly within you as you reflect on the words of a great 13th Century poet…
“The morning breeze has secrets to tell you, do not go back to sleep.” -Rumi
